Orthorexia runs rampant among the weight loss community.

What's the most important thing you have learned on MFP? Mine is that you don't have to starve yourself to lose weight! Actually, it's much better if you don't!

Yeah same here! It's so much fun eating more and still losing weight

bsix3

dedication and consistency was the key for me!

That there is a nice chatting program called KIK.

Track. Track. Track for success.

If you track, you'll lose weight because you're more aware of what you're eating!

That it's necessary for your sanity to take a break from the boards at times, in fact as often as needed and if need be use the ignore feature as much as necessary.

Seek out friends that have some of the same values in health and fitness and create a group and live happily ever after!

Main board Tolerance...though I'm still working on this one...see above for taking board breaks..

That there are no stupid questions, only rude ppl that reply impatiently with insensitive responses toward them.

That everyone on MFP has something great within them, we may never see it on the boards but I do believe it's there though I would pay to see it on the boards from some members

I've learned that bullying on MFP is very ugly & unnecessary.

So much more but I'm off to shovel slush so I'll end here.

Cheers all for a fantastic day all and for treating others the way we'd like to be treated in life!!:drinker:

11. Everyone here is mean

I really like your nailpolish... a very cool looking blue. Um, sorry if that sounded mean.:laugh: :bigsmile:

That people are overwhelmingly dumb and gullible. And to fear for society if MFP is representative of society at large

Don't talk about the mods in forums

There are other people out there with the same struggles I face.

And incredibly misinformed, and too lazy or simple to do some research. Clearly, they have the internet but do not yet know how to use the search feature.

^ what they said.

Plus, that starvation mode may or may not exist, OK it does exist but only if you're____ and doing _____, and for everyone else it's not real, unless it is...real.

I learned that I'm more likely to stick to achievable targets on a daily basis.
If I set myself on 0.5lb per week loss then I'm much happier.
I really, really want to lift heavy.
Muscles are my friends but fat isn't always my enemy.
